Etihad Airways is to launch flights from its Abu Dhabi home base to Beijing on March 30. The four flights a week service will be Etihad’s first destination in China. “There is a huge appetite from business and leisure travellers for flights to Beijing, especially ahead of the 2008 Olympic Games, and we look forward to bringing the UAE and China closer together,” said James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ chief executive. Etihad’s flights to Beijing will operate every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday departing from Abu Dhabi at 11:45pm and arriving in the Chinese capital at 11:30am the next day.
